Crag Dog

We don't usually take Ellie with us when we go climbing. We are always worried about her bothering other people and being her being stressed out. Today a friend asked us to bring her along, so we happily complied. Ellie was wonderful at crag dogging. She hung out at the base of the climb sunbathing and hanging out with our friends daughter.

Luke ended up getting me an awesome sony alpha. It is a mirrorless camera, so it is tiny and light weight, perfect for fitting in a backpack. The only thing I really wanted to do for my Christmas break was to see Zion in the snow. Luke timed it perfectly so we could be there just after it snowed, and after Christmas so I would have my camera. It was so beautiful in Zion that day. Probably my favorite look I have ever seen. A perfect blanket of white snow covering everywhere mixed with the red rocks. The further we got into the canyon, the more snow there was. We didn't even make it to the Narrows because the snow was just too deep and the road was too icy. We still managed to get some awesome photos though. The only downside to it being so snowy is that there wasn't much as far as adventures to be ...
